Description
DESCRIPTION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The invention relates to novel methods for synthesizing a synthon for γ,δ-dihydroxyisoleucine 1 (CAS No. 55399-94-5] as building block for the synthesis of amatoxins, and for novel methods for synthesizing amatoxins using such building block.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Amatoxins are cyclic peptides composed of 8 amino acids, that are found in Amanita phalloides mushrooms (see Fig. 1). Amatoxins specifically inhibit the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II of mammalian cells, and thereby also the transcription and protein biosynthesis of the affected cells. Inhibition of transcription in a cell causes stop of growth and proliferation. Though not covalently bound, the complex between amanitin and RNA-polymerase II is very tight (Kp = 3 nM). Dissociation of amanitin from the enzyme is a very slow process, thus making recovery of an affected cell unlikely. When the inhibition of transcription lasts too long, the cell wll undergo programmed cell death (apoptosis).
[0003] The use of amatoxins as cytotoxic moieties for tumour therapy had already been explored in 1981 by coupling an anti-Thy I. 2 antibody to a-amanitin using a linker attached to the indole ring of Trp (amino acid 4; see Fig. 1) via diazotation (Davis & Preston, Science 1981, 213, 1385-1388). Davis & Preston identified the site of attachment as position 7'. Morris & Venton demonstrated as well that substitution at position 7' results in a derivative, which maintains cytotoxic activity (Morris & Venton, Int. J. Peptide Protein Res. 1983, 21 419-430).
[0004] Patent application EP 1 859 811 A1 (published November 28, 2007) described conjugates, in which the γ C-atom of amatoxin amino acid 1 of β-amanitin was directly coupled, i.e. without a linker structure, to albumin or to monoclonal antibody HEA125, OKT3, or PA-1. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of these conjugates on the proliferation of breast cancer cells (MCF-7), Burkitt's lymphoma cells (Raji), and T-lymphoma cells (Jurkat) was shown. The use of linkers was suggested, including linkers comprising elements such as amide, ester, ether, thioether, disulfide, urea, thiourea, hydrocarbon moieties and the like, but no such constructs were actually shown, and no more details, such as attachment sites on the amatoxins, were provided.
[0005] Patent applications WO 2010/115629 and WO 2010/115630 (both published October 14, 2010) describe conjugates, where antibodies, such as anti-EpCAM antibodies such as humanized antibody huHEA125, are coupled to amatoxins via (I) the y C-atom of amatoxin amino acid 1, (ii) the 6' C-atom of amatoxin amino acid 4, or (iii) via the δ C-atom of amatoxin amino acid 3, in each case either directly or via a linker between the antibody and the amatoxins. The suggested linkers comprise elements such as amide, ester, ether, thioether, disulfide, urea, thiourea, hydrocarbon moieties and the like. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of these conjugates on the proliferation of breast cancer cells (cell line MCF-7), pancreatic carcinoma (cell line Capan-1), colon cancer (cell line Colo205), and cholangiocarcinoma (cell line OZ) were shown.
[0006] Amatoxins can be isolated from collected Amanita phalloides mushrooms fruit bodies, or from pure cultures (Zhang P, Chen Z, Hu J, Wei B, Zhang Z, and Hu W, Production and characterization of Amanitin toxins from a pure culture of Amanita exitialis, FEMS Microbiol Lett. 2005 Nov 15;252(2):223-8. Epub 2005 Sep 15). However, the amounts of amatoxins that can be obtained are rather low (in the range of about 0.3 - 3 mg/g dry matter from natural fruit bodies, and about 10% thereof from pure culture) and the flexibility for further modifying the naturally occurring amatoxin variants is limited (see references discussed in [003]-[005] and references cited therein).
[0007] Alternatively, amatoxins can be obtained from fermentation using a basidiomycete (Muraoka S, and Shinozavra T, Effective production of amanitins by two-step cultivation of the basidiomycete, Galerina fasciculata GF-060, J Biosci Bioeng. 2000;89(1):73-6; the reported yield was about 5 mg/l culture) or A. fissa (Guo )C/\/, Wang GL, and Gong JH, Culture conditions and analysis of amanitins on Amanita spissa, Wei Sheng Wu Xue Bao. 2006 Jun;46(3):373-8; the reported yield vras about 30 pg/l culture). Again, yields are low, and flexibility for further modifying the naturally occurring amatoxin variants is limited as well.
[0008] Finally, amatoxins have been prepared by partial or total synthesis (e.g. Zanotti G, Mohringer C, and Wieland T, Synthesis of analogues of amaninamide, an amatoxin from the white Amanita virosa mushroom, Int J Pept Protein Res. 1987 Oct;30(4):450-9; Zanotti G, Wieland T, Benedetti E, Di Blasio B, Pavone V, and Pedone C., Structure-toxicity relationships in the amatoxin series. Synthesis of S-deoxy[gamma(R)-hydroxy-lle3]-amaninamide, its crystal and molecular structure and inhibitory efficiency, Int J Pept Protein Res. 1989 Sep;34(3):222-8; Zanotti G, Petersen G, and Wieland T, Structure-toxicity relationships in the amatoxin series. Structural variations of side chain 3 and inhibition of RNA polymerase II, Int J Pept Protein Res. 1992 Dec;40(6):551-8).
[0009] While the use of fully-synthetic routes to amatoxins may offer the supply of larger quantities of amatoxins required for therapeutic uses, and may offer the construction of a variety of novel amatoxin variants by using appropriate starting materials as building blocks, no fully-synthetic approach to the most relevant amatoxins, a-amanitin and β-amanitin, as well as amanin and amaninamide, has been reported so far. This may, at least in part, be attributable to the fact that an essential building block, γ,δ-dihydroxyisoleucine 1 or a synthon therefor, was not yet available so far as pure diastereomer.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
[0010] Thus, there was a high need in the prior art for obtaining γ,δ-dihydroxyisoleucine 1, or a synthon therefore, as building block for the synthesis of amatoxins, and to identify a method for the production of 1, or of a synthon therefor. Furthermore, there was a high need in the prior art to identify an alternative method for synthesizing amatoxins.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0011] The present invention is based on the unexpected observation that γ,δ-dihydroxyisoleucine 1, or a synthon therefore, can be obtained in a multi-step process, wherein the regioselective methylation of an appropriately protected aspartic acid derivative is the key step.
[0012] Thus, in one aspect the present invention relates to a method for the synthesis of Y,5-dihydro>yisoleucine 1, or of a synthon for compound 1, comprising the step of methylating compound 3, particularly with methyl iodide in the presence of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LHMDS).
[0013] In an alternative aspect, the present invention relates to a method for the synthesis of γ,δ-dihydroxyisoleucine 1, or of a synthon for compound 1, comprising the step of methylating compound 3* (having a second benzyl protection group at the nitrogen atom instead of the phenyl fluorenyl group in compound 3), particularly with methyl iodide in the presence of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LHMDS).
[0014] In a second aspect, the present invention relates to compound 6.
[0015] In a third aspect, the present invention relates to a kit comprising compound 6, and at least one additional reagent for the synthesis of amatoxins or precursors thereof.
[0016] In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to a method for synthesizing an amatoxin, or precursor molecule therefor, comprising the step of coupling compound 6 to hydroxyproline, particularly by reacting compound 6 with a hydroxyproline-preloaded resin (PS) L.

[0048] In particular embodiments, the amatoxin is an amatoxin with a dihydroxyisoleucine moiety as amino acid 3 (see Fig. 1).
[0049] In the context of the present invention, the term "amatoxin" includes all cyclic peptides composed of 8 amino acids as isolated from the genus Amanita and described in Wieland, T. and Faulstich H.

Particularly preferred amatoxins for use in the present invention are a-amanitin, β-amanitin, and amaninamide.
[0051] As used herein, a "chemical derivative" (or short: a "derivative") of a compound refers to a species having a chemical structure that is similar to the compound, yet containing at least one chemical group not present In the compound and/or deficient of at least one chemical group that Is present In the compound. The compound to which the derivative is compared is known as the "parent" compound. Typically, a "derivative" may be produced from the parent compound in one or more chemical reaction steps.

Mannich Reaction Using Propionic Aldehyde and N-PMP Glyoxalimine [0053]
[0054] One of the key structural features of 1 is the 2S,3R conformation of the amino and methyl group. An easy access for the construction of the adjacent stereocenters is the Mannich reaction. However both stereocenters presume an anti-Mannich type reaction vwth high diastereo- and enantiocontrol. This premise is described by use of a designed organocatalyst readily described in J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2006, 128, 1040-1041. Hovwsver, different approaches to remove the PMP-group failed and gave reaction mixtures, so that this approach was finally discarded. It is known in literature that removal can be quite tedious and unsuccessful, though the PMP-group is necessary for the reaction.

Alkylation of Aspartic Acid Derivative 2.1 Introduction [0055] An alternative approach for synthesizing a γ,δ-dihydroxyisoleucine synthon with correct stereo configuration (2S,3R,4R) started with aspartic acid derivative 3. Similar approaches have been described in the literature (see Yoshida et al., A large scale production of (3S,4S)-3-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)amino-4-methylpyrrolidine and its analogs from L-Aspartic acid, Chem Pharm Bull (1996), 44, 1128 - 1131; Wolf and Rapoport, Conformationally constrained Peptides. Chirospecific Synthesis of 4-AlkylSubstituted g-Lactam-Bridged Dipeptides from L-Aspartic Acid', J Org Chem (1989), 54, 3164-3173). It turned out that is was critically important to (i) use a combination of either (ia) a benzyl and a phenyl fluorenyl group, or (ib) two benzyl groups, for protecting the free amino group, and (ii) to use Lithium hexamethyidisilazane (LHMDS) instead of the corresponding potassium salt. Potassium hexamethyidisilazane (KHMDS) led to the opposite configuration. 2.2 Synthesis of Compound 2 [0056]
